Meeting this Dark Moment
In this moment we grieve, we cry, we rage, we act.
In light of the archaic, backward, rigid thinking of white supremacy in full hateful and disgusting bloom, this moment demands our attention.
This ruling is an affront to every human alive and to our ancestors who fought for our right to our own sovereignty
While we’re not surprised by the overturning of reproductive freedom in this country, we may feel utterly unprepared for this colossal loss to our very hard won right to choose what to do with our own bodies.
For anyone with a uterus, our self determination, self governance and liberty have been stripped away.
S0 how do we meet this moment and channel our rage proactively?
How will we support marginalized, under-resourced communities to rise and become resourced in this dark, archaic era?
How will we force our government to turn the hands of justice toward compassion in action rather than fear in action?
We grieve. We cry. We rage. We act.
